The ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) project represents a major step towards a clean, safe and almost unlimited source of energy: nuclear fusion. Located in Cadarache, France, and supported by 35 countries, it aims to reproduce in the laboratory the process at work in the heart of the sun. This company brings together advanced technologies in cryogenics, instrumentation, control and precision mechanics. In a highly regulated environment, each step must meet technically and regulatory requirements. The challenge is as scientific as it is environmental, paving the way for a credible alternative to fossil fuels. The teams involved must design, supervise and validate experimental systems that are subject to strict nuclear standards. At the heart of this project, Vulcain manages the technical complexity, international coordination and documentation of demanding projects, bringing its expertise to life the energy of tomorrow.
ITER Organisation and its partners were looking for an actor capable of supervising technically advanced systems in an experimental and international framework. Cryogenic, instrumentation and control installations had to be managed, with complex nuclear requirements. Technical coordination between various countries and expertise was a major challenge. Vulcain has distinguished itself by its methodological rigor and its ability to orchestrate various batches, ensuring fluid communication, the quality of studies and compliance with safety standards.
Manage cryogenic and nuclear systems in an advanced experimental environment.
Coordinate experts and international partners for optimal technical coherence.
Guarantee regulatory compliance and compliance with safety standards at each stage of the project.
Vulcain was mobilized on strategic technical lots: cryogenics, instrumentation, control-command, as well as mechanical and electromechanical installations. We ensured technical coordination between internal and external teams, ensuring compliance with specifications, deadlines and international safety standards. Documentation management, which is crucial for traceability and validation, made it possible to secure each phase of the project. Thanks to this global approach, Vulcain actively contributes to the realization of an energy future based on nuclear fusion.
Continuous supervision of studies, tests and installation to validate each phase.
Strict traceability of documentation to meet international nuclear standards.
Adaptation to multicultural constraints and the imperatives of technological innovation.
